You would struggle to "corrupt the rest of the data" with any
technology.


You never worked with bubble memory did you?


It was actively worked on where I used to work, but not personally,
no.

I was thinking of more modern, mainstream, technologies, not dead
ends.


It had some interesting faults.
I killed the development of bubble memory cards on SystemX by designing
something far better to replace them.
Cheaper, more reliable and five times as fast tends to kill the competition
rather well.
Its still in use now and its more than a decade (or two) old.
